What The.....

[GenuineRider]

ok so i bought a new bike not long ago, as i went to put its third tank of petty in, it ran fine for about 5 mins, then it just died. so i took it home and had a play around, i thought it would have been something to do with the air mixture, so had a play around with that, i knew it was something to do with carby so i changed the carby over, still no go, it started occassionally but only for about 5 secs then died, anywayz, i never thought to pull the carby apart and have alook, anywayz, a bit later i took the tank off and turned tap on for a sec to see if petty was coming through, it wasnt, so im thinking ok sweet, there is my problem, anywayz, went to tip all petty out, and i started tripping out baaaad when i seen what was coming out, it seriously looked like shampoo. it was thick as f***, and white, it came out like oil, but thicker and white.

before you start asking questions ill answer a few first,
No i didnt put oil in my petty yank,
Yes i put the right feul in.
anywayz, pulled carby apart and took a couple of pics of what was in the bowl
Sorry, cam isnt very good

Sounds like the petrol tank wasn't coated :-S

don't put shampoo in your petrol tank.

don't put shampoo in your petrol tank.

ahahahah
nah just looked like it, unless one of my asshole mates are playing a lil joke on me and did it, highly doubt it tho, cause no one has gone near my biikke

your tank is stuffed id say bad plastic boot it , clean carb connect a empty clean bottle up to fuel hose and run bike on idle with test tank<< bottle , if all is fine order new tank , looks like fuel has reacted with the tanks plastic
